Dentist find out I was bulimia?

I am going to the dentist for the 1st time in 3 yrs (I was 14). I'm almost 18. I had on %26amp; off bulimia from age 15 to about 4 mos ago. The bottoms of my front and bottom teeth are white but a tint of yellow, but the tips of my bottom and top teeth in the front are pretty clear. Is this from bulimia? Will the new dentist I'm going to find this out? He is local. What are the odds of him finding out? If he does, will he have to bring it up, because I put it in the past when I found out the effects of it. Also, will they tell my mom. My aunt is taking me though. They shouldn't tell, right? Also, what will they have to do to my teeth if they find out. WIll they send me to a specialist or just bascially tell me to never do it again and let me leave %26amp; pretend nothings wrong. Please help, I'm sick my stomach thinking about this. Also, I don't brush my teetch everyday, so maybe he'll just think I need some major cleaning? The appt. is on 2 %26amp; 1/2 hrs. Help ME!

The stomach acid dissolves the enamel off your teeth, so any dentist that knows what they're doing will be able to recognize whats you've gone through.





My advice is to not try and hide it. It sounds like you're on the right track now. Stand up and take responsibility for it. If he asks, simply say, "I had a problem with bulimia in the past, but I no longer have this problem."





You are 18, (here thats considered an adult, but I dont know about where you are) so no need to go telling your parent. If you are still considered a minor then he might be obligated to by law.





Don't worry, if what you say is true and its a thing of the past, then you have nothing to worry about from anyone.





You might want to brush your teeth every day though, theres no getting around that one.
Reply:Honey, the dentist will know because bulimia damages the teeth. He shouldn't tell your aunt as this is confidential information. He may talk to you about it and some of the things that you can do to help you with your problem. Bulimia is a sickness and I strongly suggest you seeking help for it. My ex-daughter-in-law had this problem and she at times doesn't have it under control. Please get some help. Your health depends on it.
Reply:just let it go and chances are they won't even notice...if you stopped 4 months ago and your teeth are just a little yellow then they will probably just think its because you dont brush your teeth...and even if they do notice, 1. they wont even say anything or 2. he might just say something to you if hes concerned and your 18 there not gonna tattle to your mommy
